What ObamaCare did was take some of the things we did for the poor and expanded the government to basically the whole marketplace.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Do we fear terrorism so much that we throw out our Constitution, and are we unwilling and afraid to debate our Constitution?
Quote by -Rand Paul
I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The West is in for a long, irregular confrontation - not with terrorism, which is simply a tactic, but with radical Islam.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The Hepatitis B vaccine is now given to newborns. We sometimes give five and six vaccines all at one time.
Quote by -Rand Paul
It seems the most common thing for serial interventionists to do these days is to lob the term 'isolationist' at anyone who does not agree with their latest folly, and then set up a straw man about those people not wanting to be involved in the world.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Because Republicans believe that the federal government is limited in its function-some have concluded that Republicans are somehow inherently insensitive to minority rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Bulk collection of phone records didn't find or stop the Tsarnaev brothers from the massacre in Boston. In fact, one might argue that all of the money spent on bulk collection takes money away from human analysts that might have noticed the older brother's trip to become radicalized in Chechnya.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think it's a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant - but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I ran for office originally as part of this Tea Party Movement because we were upset with Republicans who've doubled the debt. We were upset with Republicans that bailed out the banks.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think every day we look at the mess of the chaos of the civil war in Iraq, I think every day people become more and more convinced that the war was a mistake. I think we have to learn from the mistakes of our past.
Quote by -Rand Paul
For too long, we've attached some mythic notion to government solutions, and yet, 40 years after we began the War on Poverty, poverty still abounds.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Many of those people deserve to be in prison; however, some of them do not.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Some Libertarians argue that Western occupation fans the flames of radical Islam; I agree. But I don't agree that, absent Western occupation, that radical Islam 'goes quietly into that good night.'
Quote by -Rand Paul
I don't think I've ever used the word 'gay rights,' because I don't really believe in rights based on your behavior.
Quote by -Rand Paul
You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I believe the answers to most problems that confront us around the world can and should be approached by engaging both friend and foe in dialogue. No, I don't naively think that dialogue always works, but I believe we should avoid the rigidity of saying that dialogue never works.
Quote by -Rand Paul
In some communities, I show up, and they say, 'Well, we haven't seen our Democrat congressman in 10 years.'
Quote by -Rand Paul
I, for one, will remain constantly vigilant of a government that admits its transgressions of liberty only when they are caught lying.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Every debate in Washington is about how much to increase spending - a little or a lot.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Out of your surplus, you can help your allies, and Israel is a great ally. And this is no particular animus of Israel, but what I will say, and I will say over and over again, we cannot give away money we don't have.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Laws don't really restrain people. Ninety-eight percent of people follow a virtuous course with or without laws.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think if you're forthright and answer a lot of questions, sometimes you'll get people who won't let you answer the questions, and that makes for a difficult answer.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I think that ISIS is a threat to our embassy, to our consulate, as well as potentially to the American people.
Quote by -Rand Paul
As president, I would promote a Fair and Flat Tax plan, known as the 'EZ Tax.' My tax plan would be the largest tax cut in American history, reforming individual, business, and worker taxes.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Many Americans who have suffered during a recession have had to cut their spending 1 percent, and they didn't like doing it, but they were able to do it to get their family's finances back in order.
Quote by -Rand Paul
In 1979, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in Smith v. Maryland that a few days' worth of phone records for a single individual were not protected by the Fourth Amendment. The NSA today, though, collects hundreds of millions of phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans without an individualized warrant.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.
Quote by -Rand Paul
When you look at statistics for the white community alone, you see that we've become two separate worlds in which the successful are educated and wait to have children until they are married, and those in poverty are primarily those without higher education and with children outside of marriage.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Giving someone a one-time stimulus check, or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known - that human life begins at the moment of conception and, therefore, is entitled to legal protection from that point forward.
Quote by -Rand Paul
Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a gross violation of that nation's sovereignty and an affront to the international community.
Quote by -Rand Paul
I'm a different kind of Republican. I've introduced a five-year balanced budget. I've introduced the largest tax cut in our history. I stood for ten and a half hours on the Senate floor to defend your right to be left alone.
Quote by -Rand Paul
We need to notice and be aware of the injustices embedded in our criminal system.
Quote by -Rand Paul
In our state, I'm really proud of the fact that the ones who overturned Jim Crow in Kentucky were Republicans fighting against an entirely unified Democrat Party. So I am proud to be Republican. I can't imagine being anything else.
Quote by -Rand Paul
The government can't even do a good job of something as simple as running the Post Office. How can it be expected to do a good job with something really important, like educating our children?
Quote by -Rand Paul
Republicans traditionally say, 'oh, we'll cut domestic spending, but we won't touch the military.' The liberals - the ones who are good - will say, 'oh, we'll cut the military, but we won't cut domestic spending.'
Quote by -Rand Paul
The Constitution's pretty clear. The Federalist papers are pretty clear... They very specifically delegated the power to declare war to Congress. They wanted this to be a congressional decision; they did not want war to be engaged in by the executive without approval of Congress.
